I noticed some posts bout fan fics which are wonderfull of course. Just curious if we have any text base rp writers here :) I am pretty well addicted to rp groups its fun to play the stuff out with other good writers. I currently started up  couple of new rps as well any good writers interested *wink wink* lol

*pardon the typo's its late and I have been up  long time*

By RP do you mean Role Play? Ive never understood larps and RPGs but to each their own. I suppose that writing withing the paramiters set up by someone else could be fun and a nice excersise.

HEAVILY.

LOL  I play on Roswell Heaven for Roswell games, plus crossover games as well for various shows.  Buffy, The Tribe as well, plus a myspace based game for the Dark-Hunter book series.

yes role play, free form text role plays are not as strict as things like LARP and  D&D and such. Usually you can just use a character and what has been set for them..and write your own. "episodes" or the like. Its alot of fun :)

I love rp.  Once some girls and I got until this rp involving unicorns and wolves that turned into something much than itself.  Not that was fun.  I haven't done it too recently but I would love to get into it again.  It's fun and gets the creative juices flowing when your stuck on your own writing porjects.

I belong to a bunch of rp groups what are you into Tristina?  presently i own, two buffy groups, a rome group and one based in the 14th century.

Those sound cool- I love history.  I would love to do an rp based on some of the books I've read recently- Underland Chronicles, Benjamin Bartholomew Piff, Robin Jarvis.  I've been throwing around these ideas about city cats at war and pirates who travel through time- nothing I would really write about but interesting enough.

sounds fun, LOL yeah seems i am having issues getting players for the games to make it fun But i am not going to give up yet. I am not one who gives up to easily. The players will come..they will they must *LOL* just finding places to advertise thats also the trick.

I used to do a lot of Roswell RP'ing.  But that was ages ago. 

ok i'm still not sure i understand what rp is. i play rpg games on my computer like, sacred, neverwinter nights and diablo.  is that the same only writing each character and their actions?  please explain. i'm always up for something new.  haha  and do remember, this is the blinkie dummy and i can improve just look below!!! lol

LOL did i explain it good enough in chat Jay? and are you interested in an rp? lol

Text-based RP seems like a "game" in the very loosest of senses, it's more like free-form collaborative writing.  Not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you...  I've tried my hand at it a couple times, but as a long-time D&D player (23 years and still going) I prefer the more traditional format of referee (DM/GM) + players.  Play-by-email (PBEM) games are a nice text-based alternative which still retain some of the rules structure and player divisions of pnp games and eliminates some of the more heinous Mary-Sue-ism I've encountered in more free-form stuff.  Whatever though, YMMV.

Somehow, I didn't really expect to meet anyone else who RPs here. Why? Not quite sure. Anyway, I love to role play, and recently, I've been told that I hava a natural inclination towards historical role plays. I hadn't thought about it, but it's true - Rome, mythology, 18th century Britain . . . Also anything based on some of my favorite books and shows. Interested, anyone?

Yup I role play and its how I found out I could write! I mainly do white wolf Vampire the Masquerade but have tried Harry potter, discworld and a few others.

So a few links to an RP site would be nice, I am willing to try just about anything fantasy.

I have been a storyteller ( gamer leader/dungeon master etc) before and have been able to get people having fun BUT I would rather just play. I am willing to help if need be.

If you're willing, I'm up for a mideval fantasy role play. It can be over PM, IM, email, whatever (though I'd prefer not to use IM for anything except logistics).

I have tried this before on a site called www.RPoL.net (Role-Play Online.) The site is set up for each player to have their own character, and Online play is easy, I've seen several that have taken the storyline and let the players run with it, forming a story instead of a more common DM/player relationship.

Whatever you decide to do sounds interesting. I'll keep an eye one this thread.

Thanks, I've been having some difficulty finding a good site for role playing, and I'm not that into the D&D style of rolling dice or having only one main "master".

And I don't see a link to wherever a person is suppose to do this. I'm interested in particpating to see what I might be able to do with it.
